Overview

Our workshop completed a full HKS turbo kit installation on a Toyota 86, transforming it from naturally aspirated to a responsive, reliable boosted street car. We fitted the turbo manifold, heat-wrapped dump pipe, and dual resonated front pipe to free up exhaust flow. The compact, efficient HKS intercooler was installed with careful alignment for a clean finish. Supporting hardware included high-flow fuel injectors, flex-fuel capability, and HKS Racing Super Fire spark plugs for consistent performance.

For boosted 86/BRZ builds we strongly recommend the HKS oil cooler. This turbo-specific kit includes ducting and wheel-guard vents to keep oil temps under control during spirited driving or track use.

Why this HKS setup

  • Strong, usable power

    240 kW at the wheels on a safe street tune suited to stock internals.

  • Great spool & response

    Compact turbo system with efficient intercooler routing.

  • Thermal management

    Heat-wrapped dump pipe + HKS oil cooler to keep temps stable.

  • Future headroom

    Flex-fuel ready with fueling upgrades for later power goals.

Results

After installation the car was custom tuned on our dyno to deliver 240 kW at the wheels. While the HKS kit can make more, this level balances performance with reliability for stock engine internals and factory gearbox—ideal for a daily that still feels quick.
